    Apparently there is an outbreak in the southwest Missouri area. Those hopital covid units are overflowing at this point, all with unvaccinated people who are covid positive.

    My housekeepers son got COVID a week ago Friday. He was sick-flu like. My housekeeper is fully vaccinated (Phizer) and she got sick and tested positive. Sore throat, cough. Anecdotal, but hopefully severe disease prevented

    They’re typically the ones with purple hair, complain things aren’t fair and also have their hands out.

    That it’s not necessarily political. Not all pubs are refusing the vax.

    Panetta calls on Biden to make vaccine mandatory for military. Ridiculous that 50% of our military is still not vaccinated. It will certainly affect readiness

    Panetta calls on Biden to mandate COVID-19 vaccines for military (msn.com)

    Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said that President Biden should require all military members to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

    In an interview with Greta Van Susteren set to air on Sunday, Panetta said it was a matter of "national security."

    "I frankly think the president ought to issue an order requiring everybody in the military to get a COVID-19 shot, period. That's an issue involving our national security," Panetta, who served under the Obama administration, said. "The last damn thing you need is to have those in the military that are our warriors unable to respond to a mission because they've gotten COVID-19. There's no excuse for that."

    "When I was in the Army, I got every shot required by the military, shots in both arms as well as everywhere else. There is no reason we should not require a COVID-19 shot for everyone in the military, period," he continued.

    More than half of all service members are at least partially vaccinated as of late June.

    death numbers expected to ramp up soon, 99.98% unvaccinated..smdh..and the delta variant apparently doesn't care if you are young or not. much higher % of ICU patients requiring ventilators which is a precursor to death or long term problems

    US coronavirus: 'Surprising amount of death' will soon occur in these US regions from increased Covid-19 cases, expert says (msn.com)

    "In places like Missouri where ICUs are packed, you're going to see a surprising amount of death," Reiner said on Sunday.

    At Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Missouri, 91% of ICU patients are on ventilators and many are in their 20s, 30s and 40s, Chief Administrative Officer Erik Frederick told CNN on Saturday. That is especially concerning, he said, because at the peak last year there were only 40 to 50% of ICU patients on ventilators.

    This guy again? Already been debunked as a hack and fraud before. I'm sure his newest claims won't hold up to any scrutiny. And no, I'm not being paid by anyone to say this, contrary to what Dr. Martin would say!

    I know I read some British article a year ago that said the American NIH had up to one third of our doctors/virologists vising Wuhan, and that they were being paid by the Chinese government to do "work' in their country. No source, but if this is even close to true then we have to investigate that... for sure.
